Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 809

Chapter 809 Complicating

The door to a medium sized room suddenly opened, and a purple haired young girl stepped inside.

Sweeping her gaze across the room, Zoey's eyes instantly landed on a beautiful woman with similar purple hair seated in a chair at one side of the room.

As Zoey saw the expression on the woman's face, she couldn't help but feel confused. It was an odd and unusual look for her grandmother, especially since this was the first time they had met in over two years.

"I greet the Parag—" Zoey began speaking, but Seraphina immediately waved her hand dismissively, interrupting her.

"Oh, save the useless greetings, granddaughter," Seraphina said curtly.

'She's pissed.' Zoey's confusion deepened as she heard her grandmother address her that way. Anytime Seraphina called her "granddaughter" with that tone, it was a surefire sign she was 100% angry.

"You seem fine, though," Seraphina continued. "I was expecting your head to be cracked open or for you to be afflicted with some mental curse."

"Huh?" Zoey's brows furrowed. "Did something happen, Grand—auntie?"

Seraphina sighed and closed her eyes briefly before reopening them. "Why did you say no to him?" she asked.

Zoey's confusion only intensified. "To who?"

"Who else could I possibly be talking about?"

Zoey's eyes widened as she suddenly realized, and her expression shifted. Now she understood what this was about.

"Wait, that's the reason for all this?"

"Yes," Seraphina replied, "I just can't comprehend it. Why? Just why? Help me understand."

Zoey's tone suddenly turned colder. "You don't need to understand it."

"Hm?" Seraphina tilted her head slightly, her gaze narrowing.

"You don't have to understand why," Zoey said, standing straighter. "It's my life, and I make my own choices."

Zoey's earlier confusion had vanished, replaced by a more colder look. She had been uncertain about why Seraphina was angry, but now that she knew it was because she had rejected Atticus, she couldn't help but feel irritated.

This was exactly why her relationship with her mother, Celestia, had become so strained. Zoey hated when people tried to impose their will on her.

Seraphina studied Zoey in silence for a long moment.

"You like him, don't you?" she finally asked, her voice turning a bit softer.

Zoey's angry expression wavered, and she suddenly averted her gaze before muttering under her breath, "I don't know."

"Fine," Seraphina said with a shrug.

"Then I suppose you don't care about the flock of beautiful ladies trying to woo him back at the estate. It was so odd; I think I saw some of them going into his roo—"

Seraphina stopped mid sentence as she felt Zoey's icy glare land on her. It was as though she wanted to murder Seraphina no matter how impossible that sounded.

Seraphina sighed internally. 'Fucking kids. Always making things so complicated.' After calming herself down, she spoke in a more softer tone.

"Honey. I understand how you feel, and I promise I'm not trying to force you into making a decision. You're my granddaughter, and I will always love you. But stupidity shouldn't be encouraged, and I'm sorry to say, right now you're acting stupid."

"I greet the great Enchanting Drake," Seraphina said solemnly. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
